Paris, le 18 juillet 2002
More and more organisations are turning to the TETRAPOL Forum to provide users with managed service solutions.
NTL has more than 40 years experience in providing reliable managed communications services to 70% of the public safety community, including police, fire and ambulance services in the UK.
As a technology independent service provider for mission critical communications networks, NTL’s strategy is based on an in-depth knowledge of Professional Mobile Radio technologies. Joining the TETRAPOL Forum will enable NTL to further expand its operational and technical expertise in the area of digital radio communications and to become a significant player in the TETRAPOL market.
The TETRAPOL technology, being user driven and field proven, fits perfectly with the strategy pursued by NTL to be involved in leading edge technologies and to provide world-class communications networks and supporting services to its public safety customers. TETRAPOL users can be relieved of the burden of following every technological trend and development. Instead they can rely on NTL to maintain a constant watching brief, to assess the relevance of developments, and to recommend implementation where they can deliver real and tangible benefits.
Says Chris Carini, NTL’s Technical Solutions Manager, Public Safety & Central Government Group "Joining the TETRAPOL Forum expands NTL’s range of technology used to deploy managed communications services. TETRAPOL, being an open standard, fits with NTL’s objective to provide the most applicable technology to support our customers’ business objectives. The Forum’s meetings provide an invaluable opportunity for NTL to discuss first hand operational experiences with existing users".
